Hi guys.
I’m a bit stuck. My centres are strong (BMoz, To’o, Laurie and Gagai) but my 2nd row are pretty gross (Murray, Tino, Sitili). I was thinking of trading Murray and Sitili to Angus and Sue (as that young Cronulla player with the low BE doesn’t have heaps of job security by comparison). I have Latrell and Teddy in FB. Should I be prioritising Angus/ Fifita or Pappy?
Thanks for all the help
Amy
I have reached the point where I feel I can no longer be without Papenhuyzen. His price is already pretty high, but with a negative BE and a game against the Dogs this weekend, I feel like it’s now or never. But because I only have $1000 the only way I can get him is to sell Tedesco. Plan is to bring him back for Mitchell in 2 rounds, when I expect Mitchell’s value will be higher and Teddy’s will be lower. In my head it works, but there’s a lot that can go wrong so it’s probably a pivotal decision for me season. Is Papenhuyzen a must have, or do you think I should just hold Teddy and Trell?
Hi lads, kikau worth the pod against Fifita – similar scores/tries – panthers have great run (only 2 top 8 teams in next 10 games) and kikau plays first bye with no origin? Makes me nervous tho
Any love for maumalo with Warriors draw leading up to the first bye? Manly, Dragons, Storm, Cowboys, Manly, Parra, Tigers, Cowboys
Hey guys
Thinking of trading Capewell out to Fifita, what do you guys think?
Is it worth keeping Brandon Smith 1 more week since he plays the dogs? Even with grant named on the extended bench?
Currently ranked 1k
Thinking of trading Hoy > niko
Teddy to RTS
Warriors have a great run vs cows and manly twice. Would have to not play niko when they play Melbourne and eels.
Thoughts or am I trying to hard to find pods
Fergatron! How good to see the big fella back in SC stardom!
Fifita is now at a premium price, jump in and pay up or hope for a poor game and his price to cycle down.
Capewell my only real option to get Fifi with, would need to go early on Topine or go Burbo with Walker playing now so there’s probably room for another NPR despite him been named in the 21 this week ?
Looking at downgrading either a centre, 2RF or Front Rower to then have cash to buy another gun (was going to be Cody, Munster or Luai).
I’ve looked and can’t see anyone obvious, should I go early on Topine, wilton or Condon?
Other option is to do no trades this week which puts Topine and Condon on the bubble and also can re look which 5/8 to buy.
Hey fellas, currently ranked around 1k overall and am concerned about not owning D.Fifita.
Have Sitili in my second row, and believe he is a sell. Trading Hoy to Schuster this week gives me about 550k in the kitty, and I am leaning towards the pod move of bringing in L.Leilua. Is this viable or should I figure out a way to bring in Fifita (meaning I can’t get Schuster)? Cheers
Thinking of downgrading Fuimaono potentially to Blore this week, in order to go Tupuoniua to Fifita or Niu to To’o.
Thoughts on which trade to make? Also have Capewell who could be upgraded to To’o without needing to downgrade.
Thoughts on cody walker and simonsson out for nikorima and big lucy. Love the warriors upcoming draw with cows and manly twice in the next 8.
Thinking of getting Zane Musgrove
Should I trade out:
1. Corey Waddell
2. Brandon Smith
Also do you think Connor Watson will play 5/8 for the remainder of the season. The knights don’t seems to like playing Kurt Mann at 5/8v with Ponga
Hi fellas,
Went with the POD play of owning both Munster and Cody Walker in hopes they both go massive over this period. Hasn’t worked out great and had to miss Schuster last week because of it.
Is it worth going Walker > Schuster now so I can go Tupounuia > David Fifita?
Cheers
Hi guys,
Wondering whether to trade this week or not. I got Murray who hasn’t been performing so thinking of trading him out for either D.Fifta or To’o.
Which is better trade out of this two?
Hey Guys
Currently ranked around 1800 and want to continue to climb so bringing in Too. Currently going Fog to swalker to fund the trade which would see me trade either JoeO, Lodge or Staines out. Who do you think would be the priority trade out of these 3?
Hey boys, upgrading Niu this week. Help me decide between Val Holmes or Brian Kelly. Cheers
My 2RF is Matto, Barnett, Frizell, Riki, Joe O and nuff. I really want to get Crichton/Fifita in asap. Can sit tight this week or shall I pull the trigger? Who would u trade out?
Curious as to who you think the best 2FR option is under 215k. Feel to early for a nuff. Condon? Topine? Or could I go early on Blore since he should be playing R13.
I’m thinking of moving D brown on and either Munster in or move Watson down and cook in which do you think is most important
Was weighing up last week between getting To’o & Chrichton, and pulled the wrong rein bringing Chrichton. Need To’o: do I bite the bullet and cop a $55k loss & lost trade to get him in for Stephen, or trade him in for Niu?
Fellas, sitting 31st at the moment and the team is really settled so looking at saving trades this week – the only trade I am considering at the moment is jumping on Sam Walker early. Only reason i would go early is so I have the trades next week to move on the likes of Niu and Fuimaono as they peak in price or in the case of injuries etc. Thoughts? Save the trades and wait to next week for Walker or go this week?
Hi guys,
Two questions.
1) Who should get the last spot in my 17 out of Schuster and Walker?
2) Who would you play as your last wing/centre out of Staines and Niu?
Thanks!
Minor change to question 1. Who misses out as a reserve out of Schuster, Walker and Riki?
Hey lads! Strong week, well done to you all.
Is it still worthwhile to jump on Schuster? Have Cody and Moylan, so going Moylan to Schuster means he’s a play this week (holding Cody!)
Also, man crushes aside, is Cam Murray a sell? Cheers
lads ! love your work. i have held onto matto this whole time, mainly because i had other more important trades to make in previous weeks. but now that he looks set on returning, im abit concerned abit his high be. looking to trade him out before he leaks cash. is ipap still a good option (bit of money to be made still) or would you just trade him for a set and forget player like tohu harris ? or barnett ?
Hey guys,
Do you think I should trade tupouniua to Angus? Or niu to too? Can only do one.
Keep in mind if I do the niu trade Ill have to play tups and he has a massive BE of over 100 because of that 4 points last week. Cheers.
Gents bit stuck on a second trade. Am going to go Cody walker to Luai which leaves me 86.4k in the bank. Am looking at either:
– swapping Niu to Fox or Kenny Maumolo (both have decent draws); or
– trading Riki out, moving capewell up and buying either fergo or olam (or similar). Would need to play Niu this week if olam goes up to second row; or
– Saving a trade – would mean Niu would play this week in the CTW (with capewell, To’o and Laurie)
Cheers boys. Love your work.
Jake
Yes legends!!
Thanks for the content each week.
Is it worth trading B Smith and Fuimaono to Wilton and Fergie Ferg via duals.
Leaves 90k to upgrade to Grant next week.
Rank 788
2nd Row: Fifita, Crichton, Barnett, Riki
CTW: To,o, Capewell, Laurie,Mead , Simonsson, Suaalii, Nuff
Hi, brought in Stephen Crichton last week for the early pod play and it backfired. Do I cut my losses or do I try to hold through that the good period post this Raiders game. I only brought him for the run with a view to upgrade later after the bye.
Hey legend!
Currently sitting rank 13 thanks to the sc playbook!
Wondering what your thoughts are on selling Josh Jackson and going early on nofo. Would mean I’d potentially have to bring Condon in which I’m not sold on.
Are there are benefactors of AFB being out long term?
Hi guys,
Would like to get your opinion on my sticky situation.
I am currently thinking Stili – Condon and Fusi – To’o. I am really not keen on Condon or anyone else in that price range, but that’s the easiest way for me to get To’o in and Stili out.
My other thought is to axe Welch as well and go Stili – To’o (via capewell) and Welch to someone likeRyan James (leaves me ~150k but also leaves me with Capewell in the 2rf, which means i’m playing 2 of Staines, Roberts and Simmonson.
Thanks guys,
Lucas
Hi Lads,
Great to see a lot of the sc playbook boys getting off to a cracker start.
Is Ryan Matterson (likely sub 600k very soon) a viable alternative to D Fifita?
Essentially the trade off I’m looking at is
Staines and bsmith out for
Fergo and matterson OR Stephen Crichton/cambell graham and Fifita
Note these trades would happen over the next two weeks.
Hey guys, thoughts on this Matto move? Ive still got him but i can downgrade to James and upgrade fusitua to To o – but I know ill probably bring Matto back later and burn more trades this way. Too sideways?
Cheers!
Sorry one more quick one:
Staines
Niu
Roberts
In the 17? Cheers?
^Only room for one**
Hey guys, seriously considering L. Leilua given the Tigers are on the up and he is playing rd13. Do you reckon he is a keep?
Have changed my trades to Fusitua -> Suaalii and Niu -> To’o which lets me save trades and keep Matto for the year which I think is a better move? Can’t see many better bottom dollar cow prospects, worst case he’s a bottom price non player for the year. Cheers always appreciate your input!
The only way I can get in Dfifi is by trading teddy.
Is teddy > RTS
Capewell > Difi
Too sideways. I’m ranked top 1000.
I know the warriors play cows and manly 2 times before the bye.
Too sidewise, Teddy far better than RTS, Capewell ticking along solidly, rock at CTW.
